PRAYER OF MODERN WOMEN #Unez Haynes Gillmore Gives It a New Expression That Makes Food for Thought. “Lord, we have come out of the aark and the quiet and the calm of ‘the past into the dazzle and the noise and the hurry of the present. But Yyesterday we lived inside four sealed walls, the hearth our earth, the fam- ily our world. Today the door and the window have swung wide and we gaze out. The earth lies before us. Thy world encompasses us.’ These are the opening sentences of i “The Prayer of the Women,” by Inez Haynes Gillmore in Harper's Bazar. In it are also the following: “We thank thee that we were born in this day. “Help us to give back to the chil- dren who toil all the tender love and all the fairy lore of their lost child- hood; its green fields and sweet wa- ters, its bright flowers and blue skies, its soft winds and warm sunshine, its golden sands and changing seas. “Help us to give back to the wom- | en who sin all the love and honor of thelr lost womanhood, its gaiety and security, its helpfulness and happiness and peace. “Help us to open the hearts of all good women to their new duty. “Help us to make easy the way of the working woman. “Help us to point out new paths of | gervice to the idle women.” SEEMS A POJR OCCUPATION Demand for Female “Kennei-Maids” Said to Be the Latest in the Old Country, Ladies have been advised to take up the profession of “kennel-maid,” but the latest development of this oc- cupation appears to be that of “ca- nine nurse.” Reports from the old country tell that there are actually institutions for training ladies to be- come nurses for dogs. They are taught to study the different ailments of the canine pets, and have to serve Aan apprenticeship for at least twelve months before they are qualified. A good nurse can command a good sal- ary. Only recently a lady in Dublin engaged one of these canine nurses at $16 a week, besides paying traveling expenses. At most dog shows in Eng- land one sees girls in nurses’ cos- tumes attending the valuable animals that are on exhibition. An advertise- ment appeared in a London Journal only a few weeks ago offering $300 per year and all found for a qualified kennel maid. Modern Young Lochinvar. A modernized version of young Lochinvar, a Il'Apache, is reported Ifrom Poitiers, France. A young man was in love with a girl who did not reciprocate his sentiments, and had promised her hand to “another.” De- termined that if she did not marry him he would spoil “er matrimonial chances elsewhere, he decided on in- volving the girl in 2 scandal, and man- aged to induce her to go for a motor car ride with him. Once aboard the car the chauffeur “let out” at full speed, when the lady. perceiving it, broke one of the windows of the car in an endeavor to escape. The chauf- feur, thinking that a lovers’ quarrel was in progress, calmly went on driv- ing until midnight, when the party reached Poitiers. Here the abductor repented of his rashness, and seeing the girl covered with blood as the re- sult of an injury sustained while win- dow-smashing, the hero of the adven- ture calmly abandened her, leaving her to wander about the streets until she was rescued by a good Samari- tan. Viking’s Bread. A fellow of the University of Stock- holm (Schitzten) has discovered a loat of bread dating from the time of the Vikings. Microscopic examination show that the bread was made of the bark of the pine tree and the flour of peas. This discovery shows that peas were cultivated in Sweden nine hundred years after Christ. Few archaeological discoveries of bread have been made and very little bread dating from antiquity has been found. In 1908 a cooked loaf of wheaten flour (a find dating from the fourth century after Christ) was dug out of the ruins of an ancient castle in ‘Boberg.—Harper's Weekly. Bombay Plans to Fight Cholera. Bombay is taking steps to cope with the cholera and other epidemics. Dur- ing the recent visitation of cholera there the need of a hospital for cases of infectious diseases among Europe- ans was emphasized. This want was brought to the notice of the municipal. ity and later to the government. As & result of the agitation the Bombay Zovernment has addressed the cor- poration on the subject of providing a new hospital for the tseatment of these diseases, and thc Bombay gov- ernment proposes to co-operate with the municipality by assuming the en- tire cost of the hospital building, pro- vided the municipality will furnish the site and maintain the institution. In Ancient India. A writer on Indian women of 3,000 years ago says that they were “treated with suspicion,” and quotes from Kranya Kauda to support his asser- tion: “Women will continue to like their husbands only so long as they are rich and influential; but the mo- ment they are reduced in circum- stances they will be abandoned by them. Women resemble the lightning in their waywardness, weapons in their sharpness, and the high gale in Ind’screet haste.” Imitation Sandstone. The Prussian government has erected at Stettin a building composed of imitation sandstone, granite and marble. The sandstone forms the greater part of the exterior. The framework is of brick. columns, roof, balcony and portal ornaments are of imitation stone, and they were so exactly cast and num- bered that they were fitted together and set with little or no chiseling. The pressing or stamping of the molded pieces was done by hand. From three to four weeks were re- ; quired for drying. The cost is said not to have ex- ceeded half that of natural stone, and the durability is believed to be equal.

About six months after the purchase Paddy took it back because it had stopped “You seem to have had an acci dent with it,” said the jeweler. “A small one, sure enough, sir.
